Readers Choose Laura Osnes to Reign on Broadway as Kate Middleton

In the wake of the royal wedding on April 29, Broadway.com asked readers to choose the perfect Broadway star to play real-life princess bride Kate Middleton in a fantasy musical version of her story. A clear winner emerged after the weekend vote: Laura Osnes, the sweet and lovely leading lady of the current Broadway revival of Anything Goes. Osnes, also a vet of golden girl roles in Grease and South Pacific, picked up 35% of the vote.

Coming in second was another beautiful Broadway Laura, Tony winner Laura Benanti, who drew 21% of the vote. Tied for third were Spider-Man heroine Jennifer Damiano and former Disney princess Sierra Boggess (now Broadway-bound in Master Class), each of whom picked up 9% of the vote.

Thanks for voting, all you Broadway royal romantics!
